I wanted to show y'all another one of my dream houses. Isn't she beautiful? I just love these old homes. They have so much character and are so graceful. I bet it is awesome inside. I drove by it one day in Hattiesburg. I will be driving by looking at these old houses again soon and taking pictures of them with all of their Christmas decorations. I know they will be gorgeous. I would love to just park my car one day and walk through one of these neighborhoods and take lots of pictures. That is what Cindy at 'My Romantic Home' did and she took wonderful pictures and posted them. You should go and check her blog out if you haven't already. I love her home! She decorates so pretty. She is so talented and such a sweet lady.
I've been having a few tough days. My fibromyalgia has been really bad lately. It acts up whenever the weather gets bad. It is suppose to be bad weather for the next two days. I can definitely feel it. My neck always hurts when it is about to rain. I had to have two discs replaced in 2005. I fell down the stairs at my old house and cracked two of them and they were pressing on a nerve. It was very painful. Surgery fixed that, now if only they could come up with something to fix fibro. That would be wonderful.

Me and Missy
Me and my friend Missy at one of our 'red hatter lunches'. We had a blast! We all went to a chinese restaurant and after that we went shopping! It was a lot of fun...just being with the girls. We were the only 'pink hatters' there that day. We are not in the Red Hatter's group anymore. We both work all of the time. Maybe one day we can start another group. I miss it.

Grandma,mother,and daughter
Good morning
! I hope all of you are having a nice peaceful morning. I'm sitting here drinking my coffee and trying to think about something to post about. I wanted to post these two photos...one of me and my mom and one of me and my daughter. These were taken one Christmas morning a few years ago. I was still in my pj's. (pink of course) We had been cooking all morning...you can see my kitchen sink in the background full of dishes! We had a very good Christmas that year being with all of our family.
I met a new blog friend a few days ago and I just wanted to tell you about her blog. It is so much fun. She has fun games to play on her blog and she is so creative. If you want to have some fun go to www.adivashammer@blogspot.com. Her blog is a lot of fun. She would love for you to stop by and visit.
I'm going to go visit my other blog friends now. Thank y'all for being there and leaving your sweet comments. They make my day!

One more china cabinet

Look what I got a few weeks ago! Isn't it beautiful? Well...it will be when I get through with it. I love all of the carved out sections. The detail is pretty. I think that I'm gonna paint it 'Heirloom Lace'. I use that color a lot. I haven't decided what I'm gonna do with the inside yet...maybe a soft pink. I have some really pretty dishes that I haven't ever displayed since I got them. They are called 'Accoutrements' and they are by Lenox. I have one of the soup bowls already in there, in the picture. I was just playing to see what they would look like. They are an 'Anna Griffin' design. I love all of her stuff. I use a lot of her scrapbook supplies too. If anyone has any ideas about what colors I should use, please leave me a comment. I want to get it done soon. You can see the bowl in the hutch. It is ivory colored with a pink rose with green leaves around the rim. I love these dishes. Dishes are my weakness. I got that from my granny, she had several patterns . Some were just mix and matched but she loved them all.

Jason Matthew Allen
Look at that face! This is my first grandson, Jason. I kept him a few days ago and we had a good ole time! I fed him babyfood sweet potatoes for the first time and he LOVED it. I had to take these pictures to show his mama and daddy. She wasn't too happy with me. She still doesn't want to feed him anything but milk and a little cereal. She says that is what the doctor told her to do. Some doctors say that and some dont. All I know is that he was hungry and I fed him! He loved every little bite of it. He is so adorable. I just want to hug him and squeeze him amd kiss him all of the time. This will be his first Christmas and we are going to have a ball!

This picture was suppose to go with my post of my grandma for her birthday. It downloaded but it didn't show up on the post.
This is Mamaw and Papaw Mann when they were dating. They were married about a month after this picture was taken and were married for over 60 years. They had seven children. Aunt Shelby, Aunt Martha Ann, Aunt Jenny, Uncle Danny, My daddy(Bobby), Uncle Greg, and Uncle Joey. Two of their children are already in Heaven with my PaPaw.
Don't they look so sweet together? She reminds me of Ashley Judd in this picture. My favorite actress.
